Corrie and Betsy ten Boom, two Dutch sisters, hid Jews during the Nazi occupation of their country during World War II. As a result, the Nazis sent the two elderly women to one of their dreaded concentration camps where they endured horrible suffering. Yet Corrie and Betsy courageously ministered to hundreds of other prisoners who needed God. Their barracks were transformed into a Bible study and prayer center, and many prisoners embraced a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Take no interest from him or profit, but fear your God, that your brother may live beside you.

Leviticus 25:36

When Betsy became deathly ill, Corrie leaned down to hear her whisper, “You must tell people what we have learned here. We must tell them that there is no pit so deep that He is not deeper still.” Betsie died the following day. Soon Corrie was miraculously discharged from the camp only days before all women her age were killed. Corrie later traveled the world – telling her story of God’s presence even in the worst of places.

Whether it’s your health, relationships or finances, God is with you during every crisis. Remember also that no matter the condition of this country, the Lord is beside you as you revere Him and courageously pray for the nation’s leaders.
